DEderibit
Account Management
Private

Changes the margin model for the authenticated account or a specified subaccount. Margin models determine how margin requirements are calculated (e.g., Standard Margin vs. Portfolio Margin).

Changing the margin model may affect margin requirements, available funds, and trading capabilities. Use the dry_run parameter to preview the impact of the change before applying it. A dry run runs the same checks as the actual change.

Returns an error if a currency would be left with negative equity, an unfunded long option position, or insufficient funds.
